²⁸ So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, ²⁹ “Come, see a man ^(A)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”

⁴¹ He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found ^(A)the Messiah” (which means Christ). ⁴² He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of ^(B)John. You shall be called ^(C)Cephas” (which means ^(D)Peter^[a]).

You are the ^(R)King of Israel!”
